Cougar loves to sit on laps because he envisions himself as a baby...

Kelton's 8th birthday
Caleb in his bomber jacket that we gave him, such a handsome guy!

Brody and his mama
Cute bunch of goofs!
Gorgeous girls

Don't speak to Claire in a low voice, it makes her bottom lip pop out!
Sophia got her cast off and her little arm is "all better!"
Such sweetie-pies, Ella & Claire.
Happy 6th Birthday to darling Emry!
My older sister Alda who has been battling cancer these last few months.
My darling younger sister Martha who lives in Alaska.
Ron and I visiting at our daughters for Christmas 2011.
St. George, Utah... where we have bought a little home. Hopefully this
year our home here will sell, and we can be on to St. George to live out
our lives in serving our dear Lord Jesus Christ. I love this quote;
"God is eagerly waiting for the chance to answer your prayers and
fulfill your dreams, just as he always has. But he can't if you don't
pray, and he can't if you don't dream. In short, he can't if you don't
believe." (Jeffery R. Holland)
I am counting on this and that the righteous desires of our hearts
will be granted as we do all that we can to live as he would have us do.
These pictures will be the tail end of my second blog book. I will be using Blurb
again, since the first one is so great. It costs about half to do a blog book compared
to developing pictures, so it is a pretty good deal. One day, in my old age, I will
enjoy sitting and looking back over my life with these blog books.

I just love looking at pics of your beautiful family. And a baptism, what a wonderful start to 2012! I love the picture of baby Claire with her lip popped out. I'll bet everybody talks to her in a low voice just to see that cuteness. Good luck on your house selling, St George is a beautiful place. I have relatives who live in Mesquite and when visiting them we made a trip into the Costco in St George. Gorgeous hills and light. Happy New Year to you and yours.
Yay I get to be first to comment!! Ok, so as I was scrolling and looking at each picture I kept thinking, "Oh how darling," then I'd scroll down and think the same thing about the next picture, then the next, then the next...finally I couldn't decide which was my favorite because all of them are so darling!
You have such a beautiful family those pictures are going to be a nice addition to your next book.
I'm actually waiting for my first one to come in the mail.
You have a wonderful Family and I enjoyed seeing the grands as they grow.
I hope that you will soon get to move into your home, it looks like a beautiful place.
The photo of the bottom lip is so adorable.
Hugs
Julie- You just have the most beautiful family! What a blessing you are in their lives...and they in yours. I love love love all the picturs of those kids...gotta tell you- Claire's hair makes me smile! xo Diana ps.

Loved this Julie!!! Thanks for sharing :)
xo, misha
Hi Julie!
What a beautiful family, especially your little grands - I can tell they are your grandchildren . . . they all look like you!! I love the idea of getting my blog printed - I think I will try and do that this year, so many sweet memories!
St. George is such a beautiful place to live - I know that you will find so much happiness there! Are you planning on working at the temple there? I hope you home sells very quickly!
Hugs,
Barb
Such a beautiful family you have Julie. That picture of Caleb made me laugh. He's the cutest super hero.
I'm enjoying making my blog books through Blurp also. My kids are already enjoying them.
Blessings to you
Marilyn
Oh, what a fun bunch of photos! I so enjoyed each one!
How wonderful that you bought a new home there in St. George. I hope the ranch sells very soon.
Hi Julie - beautiful pics of your family and grands! I see little glimpses of you in some of those sweet little faces!
Get your house sold? St. George looks beautiful all snuggled into the mountains. Looking forward to seeing your new home in the new year!
Beautiful family Julie with lots of fun and children!
Happy New Year!
Deborah xoxo
Julie, these are all beautifully perfect pictures.
love the pouty lip
the bomber jacket
well.....everything !!!
You know, I love seeing your family photos, what gorgeous kids, happy faces, and sweetness. I hope your home sells soon. Are you in St George now? I love that area.
Your children are so beautiful! Thanks for sharing them and their families. I agree, I think it will be so great to look back on our blog books. I have people see mine all the time and want to buy them and I tell them that they are way more than they would want to spend, but for me to have a permanent copy is great. Thanks for remembering my birthday. Facebook was so fun!
Baby Claire needs to be a baby model, she is too precious as are all of your children and grandchildren.
Love the "lap" dog, he looks quite content.
beautiful, beautiful family photos, Julie!! And, I love Bobby's new napping spot! LOL! blessings ~ tanna
Always a joy to see your beautiful family. Great idea to keep a book of all the memories. I'm sure the rest of the family will enjoy it too.
Such a beautiful book you're creating! Isn't Blurb the best?! I'm so thrilled to have discovered this service!
~Cindy
Beautiful pictures Julie! Your whole family is so photogenic. I love seeing those cute little pouty baby pics! I am so glad to hear you mention Blurbs. I was just thinking of doing a blog book myself and had just googled them last night. Would love any tips or advice about that if you have the time. Good luck with the move!
I have lots of favourites, but Caleb, Claire and sweet Ella is my most fave. Would love to know what CLaire is thinking : )
I also LOVE that Brickelle (stage name?) is in a play. Reminds me of all the wonderful years Brittany was singing and acting in plays. I miss those days.
Your family is beautiful Julie. Your sister looks like you and I wish her health this new year.
Now sell that house.... and move to St. George. I can't wait.
xoxoxoxoxoxo
Such beautiful pictures! Your children and your grandchildren are so beautiful. I really enjoyed the picture with the little one and her lip puckering. Our daughter use to do that all the time when she would get upset. We could count how long it would take for that pucker to turn into tears. So precious. Hope you're enjoying a good week!
You've been blessed with such a beautiful family, Julie--love all your photos!
That pic of baby Claire gave me the giggles--so cute!
Wishing you a wonderful week, dear friend!
Julie
Hello sweet lady,
You certainly will enjoy looking back at all of the gorgeous photos that you have of your beautiful family.
You have a lot to be thankful for.
Hugs, Cindy
What a wonderful book this makes. I want to do this someday for my children.
God bless ya hon and have a wonderful day!!! :o)
thanks for sharing all the pitchas! Claire is so cute with her wittle boo boo lip.
I hope your house sells too can't imagine that it hasn't! takes the right family for that big place.
Your right about your dog! I thought my dog was big yours is MUCH bigger!
I love all the pictures! I really need to print our blog into books...since I don't scrapbook!
Great pictures!! It is so fun to see so many of your family members in one post. I can tell how much you love each one.
Your book is going to be fabulous :-D
I always love seeing your family and that baby's boo-boo lip is priceless.
Hi Julie!! Happy New Year! Your family is just gorgeous! Little Sophia is getting so big, I remeber when she was born:) What a wonderful treasure you've created with your blog book. Best wishes for 2012...may it be your best year yet!!

Hi Julie, You are so blessed to have such a gorgeous family around you. I hope we will be blessed with so many wonderful grandbabies someday- no rush but someday!! ;-))
I have heard of blog books but never checked them out. Now I´ll go to Blurb and see what I can find, sounds like a great idea, these blogs are like journals...which it would be nice to have them in paper form also :-)))
Hugs from Norway!
Hi Julie, I really enjoyed your pictures of your beautiful family. My husband's first cousin and his wife have retired and moved from NC to St. George. They are wonderful people and you would probably enjoy them. The are very active in the community. Rosemary is so talented with quilting and made the most beautiful dresses with smoocking for the first granddaughter. If you are interested in meeting them, email me and I will give you their name.
Love,
Marie
Wonderful photos! You have a beautiful family, Julie, and a book of these photos would be a treasure. I hope your house sells quickly so you can get moved to your next home and start this new chapter in your life!
Have a wonderful day!
I know I've said this before, but you really do have a beautiful family! You are so blessed!
Blessings,
Janet
Lovely photos of your sweet family!
I visit St. George a few times a year to get away from the snow. It would be a wonderful place to retire!!
Beautiful new photos to add to your book. I do believe your children, and your future generations will love what you are doing with these photos being printed into a book. Wonderful idea for a beautiful family!!
St. George is so pretty. Great shot of it...from up on the hill...:)
Have a happy week, and I will say a prayer that a buyer will come soon for your home you are trying to sell.
xoxo...Gloria
BEAUTIFUL family...love all the amazing photos.
Word has it in Blogland that YOU put cake mix in your CORNBREAD.....!!!!!!!
You have such a lovely family! I really like the photo of Claire with her bottom lip out. PRECIOUS!!
I can't decide which picture I love the best.
Probably all of them.
I love the little pucker lip baby! So sweet!
Oh, and the kitty.
Your family is so beautiful and it looks like you are such a close family.
I will miss your beautiful home and pictures when you sell it, but I think St George is lovely too.
You such a gorgeous family Julie and you will treasure your blog books so very much!
I loved seeing all the darling children!
Hugs,
Cindy
What a beautiful way to end this years posts for your book. Your family is beautiful, just beautiful.
You have such a lovely family Julie. I love all the photos you share of them! I'm glad that Sophia's arm is all better now. :) And Claire with her little lip popped out is precious! Thank you for sharing your sweet family.
Hi Julie!Lovely photos especially the first one LOL, too cute.Nice pics of Sophia and her parents as well.You have alot to cherish there.
Blessings!
How delightful Julie to be able to make a book with all of these lovely pictures. Hoping your home sells soon!
The book will be a treasure for you forever! I too think it's less expensive to do the books now. I got a wonderful one for Christmas from one of my nieces and just love it. All the pictures in this post are amazing, you have a beautiful family my friend! xoxox
Honey this is a awesome way to end your book with these lovely pic's of your beautiful family.
Looking through these I thought of how blessed you and I are with our children and their children.
Glad you found a new home and I pray yours sells fast. There is no market right now in my town for house sales but I was thinking just this morning God will answer my prayers for selling my home.
Love
Maggie
I have been meaning to look into that myself...getting my blog in print form would be awesome! Thanks for the reminder. I'm now following you.
ciao bella

So many PRECIOUS photos, Miss Julie~ each one I came to I said "oh, that's my favorite" but then I would come to the next one and say the same thing! :0)
You truly have been blessed with a beautiful family!
Wonderful photos Julie! WONDERFUL!
Oh my goodness, Julie, you are so wealthy with this beautiful family & those darling little ones. How wonderful. Hope you had a wonderful Christmas & it looks like you did! You're such a dear blog friend. Good luck on selling your house! I know this sounds crazy, but have you tried "Craig's List"?
Warmly, Michelle
Wonderful photos!!!! I have been working on my 2011 book also. I just wish that my girls would let me take more pictures of them...they hate it when I am toting the camera. Have fun creating.
I like the very first one. Adorable!
Your big sis is so elegant!
I pray she is healed completely.
Hi Julie...
What perfectly beautiful pictures of your family..... How lucky you are to be able to enjoy all of them. I only have one daughter, so our family is VERY small... one daughter....one grandson.
Thanks for your well wishes....I really appreciate it and covet your prayers for healing of whatever the heck is going on in there.
One of my very dear friends lives in St. George.... moved there several years ago from the Pacific Northwest. She LOVES it.
Happy New Year to you and yours...
Spencer
You won't have time to sit and look at your blog book. All of those kids and grands won't let you sit still that long!
Glad Sophia's arm is back to doing what little girl arms are supposed to be doing. :)
Blessings, Debbie
Hi pretty Julie! I've said it before but you do have the most beautiful family! :) Hope your weekend is going well.
Be a sweetie,
Shelia ;)
There is certainly a lot of family action going on on your blog! What darling faces. The book sounds like a terrific idea!
Came by to take another peak! They are all so adorable, lucky, lucky you!
Hugs,
Cindy
P.S. and a lot of them look like their Grandma too!
Happy Happy New Year Julie! Glad to see all is well with you and yours! I know you are excited about your new home. You have to share it with us when you get a chance.
PS I love the quote you used. So true!
I love your photos....I have been thinking of a blog book too. I don't post pictures of our family though...I would like to but the thought of all my loved ones out on the www makes me a tad bit nervous. I think yours is going to be a great book of memories. Stop over for a visit and say hi.
Julie this was WONDERFUL! It's so nice to 'meet' your family...what a good looking looking group you are. OH MY...Claire and Ella's eyes are gorgeous...I had to laugh at the one with Claire and her little pout. How adorable! It looks as though you may have some acting talent in your Granddaughter :) Thank you for sharing your photo's with us and enjoy your Blog Book!
Maura :)
I forgot to tell you GOOD LUCK on the sale of your home and your move to St George!
Julie, I just started reading your blog today. You are SO blessed with a wonderful family and your grand children are beyond beautiful. Thank you for sharing your life with us :)
Robyn
Wonderful! It's such a treasury of memories to have in a book.
